Don’t look now, but LeBron James, soon to be 37 years old, has been playing MVP-caliber basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers as of late.

Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma undoubtedly enjoyed the Purple and Gold’s game against the Orlando Magic, thanks in large part to LeBron James.

There has recently been a lot of talk about Father Time finally catching up to LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has probably grown tired of this disrespectful narrative — something that seems to pop up every single year — and decided to blow off some steam on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. Magic […]

To say that the Los Angeles Lakers have had a rough start to their season would be a complete understatement. For the most part, LeBron James has been sidelined due to various injuries and the general belief is that his absence has been the main reason behind the Lakers’ struggles early on. LeBron still is […]

Utah Jazz stars Jordan Clarkson almost had a LeBron James-Dwyane Wade moment with Donovan Mitchell on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, but he decided to pass up on it. His reason? He knows they can’t afford to botch the shot and miss given their small lead at the time. Clarkson connected with Mitchell late in […]

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to hover around the .500 mark as they go through the growing pains of building team chemistry. But could a midseason acquisition be exactly what they need?

Long before the arrival of LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers had always been the NBA’s center of attention.

HBO’s latest series focused on late Lakers owner Jerry Buss and […]

The Los Angeles Lakers, at long last, have defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder. In each of the first two meetings between a preseason championship favorite and a preseason favorite to land the no. 1 overall pick, the Thunder improbably erased deficits of 19+ points to upset Los Angeles.

After a rather rough start to his pro career, Detroit Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham seems to have found his rhythm as he continues to show why he’s the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Cunningham missed the first four games of the season due to a sprained ankle, and when he made his […]

Every time the Los Angeles Lakers look like they’re going to turn things around, they lose another game, which just proves how dysfunctional this team is right now.

Former Los Angeles Lakers guard Andre Ingram just brought home crazy money, but it wasn’t from his NBA or G League careers. The South Bay Lakers player was the winner of Friday’s episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune.’ He ended up taking home $31,750, after beating the other two contestants. I bet he liked the look […]

Instead of being the dominant force many believed they could be, this new-look Los Angeles Lakers side has instead, been struggling to find any semblance of consistency in what has been a very disappointing start to the season. We’re a quarter of the way through the campaign too, so at this point, the rough start […]

Stephen A. Smith believes LeBron James’ championship window with the Los Angeles Lakers has closed, and The King has no one to blame but himself.

Freedom forced our hand. We’ve finally reached the point where a LeBron James-Enes Freedom beef timeline needs to be injected into our sports discourse.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers had the edge early against the opponents on Thursday night.

The Los Angeles Lakers, once again, followed up a potential momentum-building victory with a discouraging dud.

They’re back to .500 […]

After a discouraging defeat to the short-handed Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers — the preseason favorites to win the Western Conference — dropped back to .500 (13-13) 26 games into the 2021-22 season.

LeBron James is bound to have his name near the top of several all-time leaderboards once he retires.

James surpassed Malone to reach 11th place […]

Life for the star-studded Los Angeles Lakers hasn’t been easy this season, going just 13-12.
